Notes

Using the adult women’s size of this hat as per request.

Dec 16, 2010: I’ve only done stranded colourwork once before, only using 2 colours and not in the round. I clearly do not know what I’m doing. I tried to keep my floats loose, but it did not work. I can’t fit the hat on my head! It’s too bad because I like how the hat turned out, but even after blocking it was still too tight. I am going to study some tutorials and do it over. There are some other changes I want to make to the design of the hat anyway.

Feb 10, 2011: Picked this up again, watched some videos that helped me figure out how to carry the yarn. It’s going better this time.
